I need to find information on US patent 8907425 regarding patent term adjustments (PTA), patent term extensions (PTE), continuation applications, divisional applications, related family members, and the projected expiration date. I will use the USPTO database for this search.

Based on the previous sections, the patent is US8907425B2, and the Google Patents abstract already states "Active, expires 2030-09-18" as the adjusted expiration. This will be a key piece of information. I will also look for related applications.The USPTO website is the authoritative source for patent information. Since I do not have direct access to the USPTO Patent Public Search tool, I will rely on the information presented in the Google Patents entry and the provided search results to answer the request.

US Patent 8907425: Patent Term and Related Applications

Projected Expiration Date:
The Google Patents entry for US8907425B2 explicitly states "Active, expires 2030-09-18". This adjusted expiration date already accounts for any Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) that may have been granted.

Patent Term Adjustments (PTA):
A utility patent generally has a term of 20 years from its earliest effective filing date. Patent Term Adjustments (PTA) can extend this term to compensate for certain delays caused by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) during the prosecution of the patent application. These delays can include the USPTO taking more than 14 months to issue a first office action, or failing to issue a patent within three years of the actual filing date. Delays caused by the applicant can reduce the PTA. Since the listed expiration date of 2030-09-18 is beyond the standard 20-year term from the filing date of June 20, 2012 (which would typically lead to an expiration around June 20, 2032), it indicates that PTA was indeed applied. However, the exact calculation or the specific reasons for the PTA are not detailed in the provided Google Patents snippet or the search results.

Patent Term Extensions (PTE):
Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are distinct from PTAs and are granted for patents claiming certain human drug products, medical devices, animal drugs, or food/color additives to compensate for time lost during premarket regulatory review by agencies like the FDA. There is no information in the provided patent text or search results to suggest that US8907425, related to "Semiconductor device", has received a Patent Term Extension under 35 U.S.C. § 156. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that PTE is a factor for this patent.

Continuation Applications:
A continuation application is based on a parent application and has the same priority date and specification, but it pursues additional or different claims to the invention disclosed in the parent. The Google Patents page for US8907425B2 lists its application number as US13/528,526 and indicates that it is a "continuation of PCT International Application PCT/JP2010/005117 filed on Aug. 19, 2010". This means US8907425 is itself a continuation application. No further continuation applications stemming directly from US8907425 are explicitly listed in the provided information.

Divisional Applications:
A divisional application also shares the same disclosure and priority date as its parent, but it includes claims directed to a distinct invention that was originally filed with the parent but restricted by the patent office. There is no specific mention of any divisional applications related to US8907425 in the provided information.

Related Family Members:
The "CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION" section in US8907425 states that it "is a continuation of PCT International Application PCT/JP2010/005117 filed on Aug. 19, 2010, which claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-002225 filed on Jan. 7, 2010."
Therefore, the known related family members are:

• PCT International Application PCT/JP2010/005117: Filed on August 19, 2010.
• Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-002225: Filed on January 7, 2010 (priority application).
• US20120256266A1: The "Other versions" section on Google Patents lists US20120256266A1, which is the U.S. patent application publication corresponding to US8907425. This is typically the published application before the patent is granted.

Summary:
US Patent 8907425 is a continuation of PCT/JP2010/005117, claiming priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-002225. Its application publication is US20120256266A1. The patent term has been adjusted, leading to a projected expiration date of September 18, 2030. There is no indication of Patent Term Extensions, further continuation applications, or divisional applications stemming from US8907425 in the provided data.
